kensington palace and, as you say, a few hours ago, after a storm of social media comments over editing issues, it was agreed, it was admitted by catherine, the princess of wales, that she had digitally altered the picture. let's talk about how damaging, potentially, this is for the monarchy at a time thatis this is for the monarchy at a time that is particularly high pressure anyway with two senior members unwell at the moment. the former press secretary to the queen, communication secretary to the queen, i should say. how communication secretary to the queen, i should say. how damaging is this? it has certainly _ queen, i should say. how damaging is this? it has certainly been _ this? it has certainly been everywhere? well. i don't know whether— everywhere? well. i don't know whether we are in a bubble and we think— whether we are in a bubble and we think it _ whether we are in a bubble and we think it is — whether we are in a bubble and we think it is damaging. i think it is sad it— think it is damaging. i think it is sad it has— think it is damaging. i think it is sad it has happened on the day of the commonwealth service which is something — the commonwealth service which is something so special and close to the hearts— something so special and close to the hearts of the royal family. the kin- the hearts of the royal family. the king had _ the hearts of the royal family. the king had a — the hearts of the royal family. the king had a special message today, has pledged his support to the

little more and obvious issues i little more and obvious issues around trust and what this story tells us. around trust and what this story tells us. so, what made the news agencies suspicious about the picture in the first place? nick eardly at bbc verify has been investigating. we have been looking at a lot of the details of the picture and also some of the meta data. i will come back to that in a minute but there is always frenzied speculation about the royals and there's been a lot of unsubstantiated speculation online about the health of the princess of wales. this was the image released yesterday morning. the first official image of her this year after that surgery in january but a number of people noticed some discrepancies which, once you see them, are actually quite hard to ignore. let's start with this one here. this is princess charlotte's sleep. you can see this bit here does not match up with this bit here. something has clearly gone wrong. another one here. this is princess catherine's zip. look at

that's there and that there. the parts of zip don't match up. and finally this is her hand as well which is around the waist of one of the princess. as you can see, it is a bit blurry. there are a few others too. about half a dozen in total. the others are bit less obvious. but thatis the others are bit less obvious. but that is the picture and it has led to these issues which are a number of picture agencies saw and decided they cannot keep these pictures up. that is clearly not normal. that then led to the statement this morning from the princess of wales, apologising for the confusion because in saying she experimented with editing, like many amateur photographers. before that statement and sense, we have been speaking to and sense, we have been speaking to a number of photography experts about what might be going on here and all of them have said that it does look like it was editing. perhaps in an application like photoshop. none of them think there's any evidence of anything

like artificial intelligence being used. and the theory that it is editing seems to be back up by their split at this is meta data from the picture. basically information which is attached to images about them. this is the meta data from the press association picture we have been using. we have been searching through it. if you at this bit and to this but here, it does show that the image was saved twice on photoshop put up once on friday evening, another time on saturday morning. both on a evening, another time on saturday morning. both on _ evening, another time on saturday morning. both on a computer. now, kensington — morning. both on a computer. now, kensington palace _ morning. both on a computer. now, kensington palace will— morning. both on a computer. now, kensington palace will be _ morning. both on a computer. now, kensington palace will be by - kensington palace will be by explaining it and admitting there are some edits to this, to end the debate on this picture. it is debate on this picture. it is important _ debate on this picture. it is important to _ debate on this picture. it is important to bear - debate on this picture. it is important to bear this - debate on this picture. it is important to bear this in mind. we don't actually have the original image. we have this, we have noticed the problem with it but we cannot be certain about what changes have been made because we do not have anything to compare this to. well, nick, thank you very much.

well, nick, thank you very much. the former conservative party deputy chairman, lee anderson, has defected, to the populist party reform uk. lee anderson was suspended by the tories last month, for refusing to apologise for comments about london's mayor, being �*controlled by islamists'. it means reform uk now has an mp, for the first time since it launched in 2018. here's helen catt. just two months ago lee anderson was a senior conservative, the deputy chair of the party. since then he has quit that post, been suspended and this morning was presented to the cameras as the first mp for reform uk. people will say that i've took a gamble and i'm prepared to gamble, as i know from my mail bag how many people support reform uk. like millions of people, all i want is my country back. he was suspended by the conservatives last month. he refused to apologise for claiming that the london mayor was controlled by islamists.

i made some remarks about the london mayor. for which i was stripped of the whip from the conservative party. a let me be clear now, i will not apologise. reform's leading believes that he will win them voters who switched to the tories from labour. we are going to get lee re—elected as reform uk's mp and the second part of the dials lee will be a fantastic champion of the _ red wall and we will replace the tories as the alternative to keir starmer. elected in 2019 anderson has often hit the headlines for his opinions and built on that high profile as a paid presenter on gb news. a former miner he was previously a labour activist. and as a an mp rose to the top. a minister played down his defection. lee is someone i have worked with, i like

him personally. i think he has made a real mistake. because as he has said, in his own words, reform is not the answer and a vote for reform will only let in a labour government. what this reveals is the chaos in the conservative party, a government divided from top to bottom, and rishi sunak too weak to assert authority. country, constituency and then party. mr anderson gave a spiky defence, but he will prove a thorn in the side of his former colleagues. lee anderson spoke to bbc political editor chris mason a short time ago. take a listen. you talked about, when you are reflecting on the mayor of london in the interview that you did that has triggered a lot of what has come

along in the past few weeks, you talked about his mates, who are you referring to?— referring to? anyone who disrupts our wa of referring to? anyone who disrupts our way of life _ referring to? anyone who disrupts our way of life on _ referring to? anyone who disrupts our way of life on london. - referring to? anyone who disrupts i our way of life on london. marchers, demonstrators. why would they be his mates? they're definitely not my mates. why would they be his? when you see somebody flashing, like, graphics onto big ben that says from the river to the sea and their chanting murderous chance, and he does absolutely nothing, then you can make your own mind up. he is actually turning a blind eye, he has not called it out. it is as though it is acceptable on the streets of london and it is not. but it is acceptable on the streets of london and it is not.— it is acceptable on the streets of london and it is not. but you are not suggesting. _ london and it is not. but you are not suggesting, in _ london and it is not. but you are not suggesting, in labelling - london and it is not. but you are | not suggesting, in labelling those people as his mates, that there is a connection between the two of them because of a shared faith? it has because of a shared faith? it has not because of a shared faith? it has got nothing _ because of a shared faith? it has got nothing to — because of a shared faith? it has got nothing to do _ because of a shared faith? it has got nothing to do with _ because of a shared faith? it has got nothing to do with faith - because of a shared faith? it has got nothing to do with faith at i because of a shared faith? it has| got nothing to do with faith at all. absolutely nothing to do with faith that this is when you lot in the media try to cause problems that i called the mayor albert bates and his incompetence, based on the fact that our streets in london are not safe, that knife crime is rife, come out anytime they want that i do a

religion check on them out of what race he was. this is a nonsense peddled by you like to try to create this hysteria and there is hatred. and the prime minister agreed with that, didn't he? you'll have to take it take it up with him but my mailbox says compare the different. there are millions of people up and down this country about what i had to say and it is you got was causing the division. to say and it is you got was causing the division-— the division. nobody else. is the prime minister _ the division. nobody else. is the prime minister a _ the division. nobody else. is the prime minister a coward, - the division. nobody else. is the prime minister a coward, then? | prime minister a coward, then? again, you're trying to create division. it is not purely us lot, is it? you are suggesting a few minutes ago you thought the prime minister, you thought he was wrong and he could have taken a bit more time, perhaps not reacting... that is you that has journalist being miss tvs, calling the pm a coward. i've never said that. he had to make a judgment that is up to him but a piece to do that. he is the boss of the country. he is the boss of the country. i think it was wrong, he thought he was right.—

and says it needs complete reform. the home office says david neal, was sacked for leaking sensitive information he was told was inaccurate. mr neal said he "paid the price" for speaking out about border security concerns. anyone over the age of 40 is being urged to get a blood pressure check, as the nhs warns there are millions of people who do not realise they have dangerously high levels. high blood pressure puts a strain on the heart and can lead to life—threatening conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. you're live with bbc news: the un secretary—general has called for a ceasefire in gaza to mark ramadan, the muslim month of fasting. antonio guterres also called for the release of hostages held by hamas, and the speedy delivery of aid to the palestinian territory, warning a threatened israeli assault, on the southern city of rafah — could put gaza into a �*deeper circle of hell�*.

it comes as a ship loaded with aid for gaza — remains stuck in cyprus. the cypriot government said, it would leave "within hours", but that was almost 26 hours ago. the ship is expected to deliver 200 tonnes of food and medical supplies. let�*s speak to mehran kamrava, professor of government at georgetown university qatar. thank you so much forjoining us here in the programme. what do you make of these variety of new methods to get aid into the gaza strip? we�*re talking about airdrops, we are talking about building new peers, we are talking about ships loaded with aid. ~ ., ., ,, are talking about ships loaded with aid. ~ ., ., .,~ are talking about ships loaded with aid. . . ., y., . ~' ., are talking about ships loaded with aid. ~ ., ., .,~ ., ., ., aid. what do you make of all of these are _ aid. what do you make of all of these are all— aid. what do you make of all of these are all acts _ aid. what do you make of all of these are all acts of _ aid. what do you make of all of. these are all acts of desperation. gaza badly needs humanitarian assistance and there is no way to get the humanitarian assistance in there. and we have seen on at least two occasions when trucks do make it
